one of the friends
i came out to said to me today:
you have a cunt.

as if i didn't know that
my genitals didn't match the part
as if i could ever forget that.

but tell me what about a cunt
could make me less of a man
tell me about how my wrists don't
lead to fists and tell me how the fire
inside me burns darker than yours; you
came inside the world as a man
but me? i have to spend the rest of
my life thinking what it is to be a man

so, yeah, i'm a man, and i've got a cunt
and i am not ashamed by my parts
you have to focus on growing a pair
and me? i have to think about what
it means to possess them.

Brave piece, a.l.t, but if I were you I'd take out the word 'cunt' from your teaser in case kiddies see it.

Thank you! I didn't even think of that, and I attempted to change it earlier but my new phone doesn't seem to work with ABCtales' layout. I'll fix it now, and again, thank you, Walrus! :)
